There's always been potholes but I've noticed this year there have been more than ever. The roads are a fucking joke. I am constantly having to swerve to avoid knackering my tyres. And you just don't see any road works going on to fix it.

It’s not just the potholes neither though, it’s the traffic. The traffic has been terrible over the last five years and is getting worse. The roads cannot cope with the amount of cars it has during rush hour or any big event going on it Town.
Cars parked on both sides of roads is a big issue as well. They slow everything on B roads down, especially buses, and it’s also dangerous for cyclists when they’re having to weave around parked cars into traffic.
That’s a bigger conundrum to try and fix than the potholes because where do the cars go? There has to be a solution at some point though.

Surface dressing on a main rd like Victoria Av is a complete joke.Victoria Avenue was surface dressed a few months ago. Within weeks it started to break up.
It's now back to square one only worse.
A total waste of time and money.
They’ve put 20 mph skid risk signs every 30 yds that have just been kicked to shit, broken, lying down all over the place, nobody seems to give a shit anymore!
They used the same shite on Oldham Rd a62 just before Oldham Centre,
There was a lovely shine on it and it looked like a ice rink one morning, but some nice chap stuck a couple of skid risk signs out so jobs a gudn. I think they have put anti skid over it now!

Someone was taking about cobbled streets above as well, go to big cities on the continent and there are lots of cities with lots of cobbled streets. Italy especially. Rip the tarmac/gravel up and leave the cobbles. It’ll slow everyone down and it looks much nicer and I’m sure they’d take much less maintaining. Then concentrate on making the major roads of the city top notch tarmac/gravel.

Very much this. Down here in mid Cheshire the roads are a shambles, holes everywhereI don’t think potholes are restricted to Manchester. The roads are in a right state.
My mate hit a pothole the other week which burst his tyre and damaged the wheel

The reality is they must be paying out in legal fees/ repairs than it costs to fix the roads.
Even the potholes have potholes in them round our way.

Definitely will be a Smart motorway then.Judging by current M60 works, that would get done by the year 2030, if they started tomorrow.
